Great stories everyone! Mine are kind of boring...

Shadow:
I really really wanted a dog, I was about 6 years old. One day I was at girl scout camp my mom called and said that I needed to find a ride home as soon as possible, fearing the worst I made someone take me home and there was little 8 week old Shadow in the backyard! I was confused because I had seen Shadow before at my Aunt's house but my mom was like, Ashley, shes yours!!

Micki and Mini:
I researched all about Jack russells and really wanted one, I was stayed the night at a friends house and my mom picked me up really early and told me we had to go look at some puppies. Micki and Mini were the only 2 left, Micki came right up and gave us all kisses then fell asleep on my lap and Mini went right to my mom, I wanted Micki and my mom wanted Mini so we took em both!

Kyra:
My dad felt that Mini would be better off having one litter of puppies no matter how much I told him it was not a good idea...well I lost the battle and on July 11 2004 she had 6 puppies, Kyra was the runt and was born with a cleft palate. We debated about putting her to sleep because our vet told us that she would always suffer and probably not make it out of puppyhood. I fought for little Kyra and decided that we would keep her and started bottle feeding her and now she is 10 months old and is great!! Many of you probably don't agree with our decision of breeding Mini but we have kept in touch with each puppy and found them all wonderful homes where we made sure they each were spayed or neutered, I also convinced my parents to spay Mini.

Jack:
We go to the petstore every weekend to get crickets for the gecko and every 2nd saturday of the month they have dogs up for adoption from local rescues. My mom went by herself one weekend to get the crickets and saw the cutest little black lab boy. My mom later brought back the whole family to meet him, he was the sweetest thing and I knew I wanted him. Even my dad who was opposed to getting another dog fell in love so the next weekend we went and got him!
